In between glasses of red wine, Cold cans of pink beer, And cups of Hawaiian coffee, I have loved you. In a luxury building downtown, A quirky 1-bedroom on Corona Street, And now a dream house in Congress Park, I have loved you. On a twin mattress on the bottom bunk, In sleeping bags in 11 Mile State Park, And on a California King under soft sheets we share, I have loved you. In 2 years and 2 weeks, Between then and now, Here and there, I have fallen in love with you And where I landed when I fell Is now where I live, With you, Forever.

The Road Not Taken isn't about Being unorthodox, Or brave, Or even right. It's about making one choice Between two paths, Worn equally, And walking along it. It's the way we chose Every day, To love or to leave That makes all the difference.
